Description

The Drakyanns came from a lush jungle world, filled with gargantuan predators that made them seem weak and small by comparison. Much like humans, their species came to dominate the planet through intelligence and not physical might. Poets, philosophers, scientists, musicians, engineers, artisans, and artists; the Drakyanns were all this and more. Blessed with lifespans that could measure tens of thousands of years, each Drakyann was the master of multiple disciplines. Brutal battles had been fought between warring tribes, but with age came wisdom, and violent conflict had long been forgotten. They achieved an advanced civilization that existed in harmony and balance with the natural world.

Then the Demons came.

Each Drakon or Drakania, the leaders of their species, holds ultimate authority over their clutch of Drakyann. While they have a noble nature, existence within the demonic realms leaves little room for compassion. Whether just or cruel, they are always merciless dictators who cannot leave room for their authority to be challenged. Each Drakon has earned his or her place through both physical prowess and keen intelligence, so challenging them is almost always folly. As such, it is rare to see changes in the power structure of their race.

While some Drakyann have fallen into demonic servitude, most of their species are committed to exterminating all of demonkind. Each Drakon and Drakania is a peerless warrior, capable of challenging the most dangerous of demons and emerging victorious. They are inherently resistant to demonic corruption and will utilize wards and blessings to cleanse and strengthen themselves and their clutch. Ancient, intelligent, and implacable, the Drakyann are the only non-demon creatures capable of survival in the demonic realms. Some amongst them believe it is not only possible to survive, but that they will one day thrive in such a place
